The Three Caballeros (1944) watch online

The Three Caballeros is a 1944 American musical anthology film produced by Walt Disney and released by RKO Radio Pictures. The live-action/animated film premiered in Mexico City on December 21, 1944, and was released in the United States on February 3, 1945. It was later released in the United Kingdom in March 1945.

The film celebrates the tenth anniversary of Donald Duck and follows his journey through Latin America, combining live-action with traditional animation. It is the second of the six package films released by Walt Disney Productions during the 1940s, following Saludos Amigos (1942), and is one of the earliest feature films to blend live-action and animation.

The narrative is presented through a series of self-contained segments, linked by the framing device of Donald receiving birthday gifts from his Latin American friends. Featured performers include Aurora Miranda (sister of Carmen Miranda), Dora Luz, and Carmen Molina.

The film was developed as part of the studio's contribution to the U.S. Good Neighbor policy toward Latin America during World War II. Donald is joined by returning character José Carioca from Brazil and a new companion, the pistol-toting rooster Panchito Pistoles from Mexico.
